The Yankee Stadium shows were part of McCartney's On The Run tour. On this first night the audience included McCartney's fiancée Nancy Shevell, his son James, Linda McCartney's brother John Eastman, former Wings member Denny Laine, plus celebrities Larry David, Chevy Chase and New York mayor Michael Bloomberg.

The setlist was changed slightly from previous concerts, with the addition of Beatles songs The Night Before and I Will. The performance of The Night Before was the first time McCartney had ever played it live.

Following the performance of Jet, McCartney asked "Who is this guy Derek Jeter? Someone said he has more hits than me!" This was in reference to the New York Yankees star who hit his 3,000th hit earlier in the week.

The concert, to put it simply, was wonderful. The way Paul commands an audience of such large volume is incredible. He is able to get everyone up on their feet to dance and sing for about 3 hours. Quite a charismatic character he is as he made jokes such as the Jeter one and told stories of his days of being a Beatle. You can’t help but wait on his every word and join in on every note. What a great evening it was!
Don’t ever stop Paul!
